Hi, I was wondering if anyone else out there has the same thing happening at their store. Here, they're hiring a lot of new people in the front end (cashiers, but mostly lots of baggers). They do this and then spread all the hours out so everyone, including those with lots of seniority, are getting no hou...

were working closer towards the unionizing of payless stores in lafayette. they have hired already 3 employees who are spreading the good word. it will take time probably a strike on its busiest day. the upstairs is oblivious and so are the managers.

Why is it that hillbillies refer to Kroger as Krogers? Example: "I'm gunna run down there to Krogers to get me sum denture adhesive!" It's not "Krogers" it's "Kroger". Singular! Friggin' hicks like to pluralize it. Dead Barney

I'm a cashier at a Kroger in Tennessee. Is there someone who can write out the steps for doing WIC at the register? I've been walked through it a few times, but it's so complicated that it never seems to stick in my head. It would be greatly appreciated!
